Current series: "Live Generously"

For three weeks in November, we will focus on a powerful passage of scripture that Paul writes to his apprentice Timothy (1 Timothy 6:17-19). Before we assume that Paul isn’t talking to us—that most of us are nowhere close to “rich”—we need to remember that, in comparison to the rest of the world, we are incredibly rich. In turn, we're called to be rich toward God, which can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but His Word makes it clear that all of us are called to support the mission and work of His church.

Empowered

Did you know that it’s actually impossible to have more of the Holy Spirit in our lives? It’s true. You see, when we become authentic believers in Christ, we aren’t given an introductory dose or the junior edition of the Spirit in those moments—we are filled with the whole thing. In other words, it’s not so much that we need more of the Spirit itself. Instead, no matter where we are on our faith journeys, we need to continue to ask God to help us recognize and depend more on His Spirit’s power among and inside us.
